Also, to me anyway, I like old cars when they look factory fresh, original. They then look like a nice classic, collectible. When they have blingy alloys on they just look like old cars, nicely kept old cars, but old cars all the same.

A proper set of BBS alloys suit them fine, like the original M3 Evolution - but most of the above simply look chavvy to me, especially with those comical ride heights. Escapees from the worst of the early Max Power magazines.

Again, just my perception.

You're not alone.

BBS wheels yes, but when they are so wide and the suspension dropped they just look chav!

Now that is chavvy. If you're talking about a Halfords job then this would probably be an example, such a shame.

Scene sheep seems a far more appropriate title - the fact that most of these abominations are from stance this or dubwannabe that dot com speaks volumes

As fugly as the pink thing is at least you can actually drive it unlike those others that will rip the belly off on the first leaf - assuming the dangerously overstretched tyres haven't fallen off the rim before they get there

I don't follow, surely if the suspension is modified correctly (ie. not cut springs or any old chav crap) the handling is more than likely going to be improved over standard ??? It's possible to have good stance and good handling.
